The surface of Beta Thoridor demonstrated Klingon architecture
Beta Thoridor (or Beta Thoridar) is a star with an associated star system. Beta Thoridor is a class M red star located in the Beta Quadrant of the galaxy, around 80 to 100 light-years from Earth. (ST reference: Star Charts)
- The stellar notation using the Greek language letter "beta" indicates that there might be a star group or constellation of some sort named "Thoridor" or "Thoridar", of which Beta Thoridor would logically be indicated to be the second most prominent star or system.
History[]
The Klingon Empire conquered Beta Thoridor in 2226. (Last Unicorn RPG module: All Our Yesterdays: The Time Travel Sourcebook) The system was then used as a dilithium mine, one of the most important in Klingon space. In 2269, the mine at Beta Thoridor became a flashpoint for tension between QuchHa' and hemQuch Klingons. (ST - Seven Deadly Sins novella: The Unhappy Ones)
Mapmaker K'tark included this system on his official 2266 star chart of the Imperial Klingon Empire. (ST reference: Stellar Cartography: The Starfleet Reference Library)
In 2367, according to Chancellor Gowron, the Duras family had gathered a fleet near Beta Thoridor, prompting the Klingon leader to ask Starfleet Captain Jean-Luc Picard for assistance. (TNG episode: "Redemption")
During the Borg Invasion of 2381, over seven thousand Borg cubes launched a simultaneous attack on the Alpha and Beta Quadrants from the Azure Nebula; Beta Thoridor was one of the systems attacked and its population wiped out. (ST - Destiny novel: Mere Mortals)
In 2409, a Romulan Republican Force warbird defended miners on the Beta Thoridor planet against Nausicaan pirates. (STO - From the Ashes mission: "Neutral No More")
Later the same year, an Allied starship defended a squadron of Romulan Republic T'varo-class warbirds against the survivors of the rogue House of Torg. (STO - Tau Dewa Sector Patrol (Daily) mission: "Beta Thoridor System Patrol")
